Description
Founded in 1924 by Pierre Saugrain, he produced the Vallée de la Seiche cider until his death in 1953. He was followed up by Maurice Lemoine. Lemoine introduced new products ('cidre brut' & 'cidre demi-sec') and started commercialising by introducing bottled ciders (75cl, 37,5cl and 25cl). In 1991 Michel Maman took over the company when Lemoine retreated. In 2001 the Maman company further expanded the portfolio with 'cidre fermier' using the fruit from an orchard in Côtes d’Armor à Kerpellen near the settlement Trévérec.
Today La Vallée de la Seiche is an innovative fruit product company with a wide range of innovative products, such as Cidre Rose - cider aromatised with roses, Ratapoire - a pear equivalent to Pommeau de Bretagne, etc.

Bottle sample @ Van Moll fest 2015, Eindhoven. Léger orangé, qcq bulles percent à la surface. Arôme offre un bouquet plaisant de pomme, le tout gardant un rétro mettant en avant un côté assez sucré. Palais de ^pomme avec un petit côté caramel, sucre, fini astringent-amertume et râpeux. Pétillant moyen dont le fruité est appréciable avec un longueur de pomme persistante en fin de bouche surtout sur le petit plus apporté par le fleuri.
